Y’all. This is always a struggle for my clients

Y’all. This is always a struggle for my clients who are surrogates. I always encourage them to have a will, a power of attorney, and an advance medical directive in place because they have families and there are risks associated with being a carrier. I just want them to protect their families. But 9 times out of 10 they don’t want to do this planning. Why? Usually it’s something they know is important but they figure they will do it later or they don’t want to pay out-of-pocket for it. It is common for carriers to be told about the need for an advance medical directive, because most contracts provide that the carrier will have designated someone to make a decision if she is incapacitated, and can’t make the decision herself. But I have never seen a contract that requires the carrier to also have a will and a power of attorney in place. This is despite the fact that it is common for the intend appearance to be required to have a will in place. I think we need to start ensuring that surrogates have the same protections as part of the arrangement. What do you think?

Friends, I’m baaaaaaack! Whew it’s been a while. But I wanted to post to celebrate the one year anniversary of my law firm, Fox Family Formation! 🎉

I have learned so many lessons from taking this leap. Making the decision to bet on myself and leave my former firm was a difficult but liberating one. My decision was one born out of all the frustrations and revelations that many of us experienced when juggling family and work life which were only exacerbated by the pandemic. While the journey of entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart, and I have my days where it feels like the pressure is overwhelming, I am grateful for the journey. ✨

Just some thoughts that I’ve had post Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health that I wanted to share and hope you find helpful.

For my same-sex parents and parents who have used donated gametes and assisted reproduction to create their family - PLEASE don’t rely on a birth certificate to solidify your parentage rights. Get a court order.

For all my parents - Get estate planning documents please. You need a will, and advanced medical directive, and a power of attorney. It is an important layer of protection for your family.

And let me be clear. I do this job because I believe in everyone’s right to experience the joy of having a family. And I also understand that sometimes along that journey to having a family something will happen that is unexpected and requires you to make a deeply personal and difficult decision. I’m not here to judge. I’m here to support you and support the rights of everyone to self determination including the right to make the decisions you deem necessary in your reproductive life.

Y’all. I got my award! Woot woot! 🎉 And the best part is my family was there to witness it. And while I think the highlight of the night for my kids was the dessert bar at the award ceremony 😂, they seemed to be proud of me. Which honestly is all that matters. ❤️

Y'all! How awesome is this?! I found myself verkle

Y'all! How awesome is this?! I found myself verklempt at learning I had been chosen to be part of the 2022 Class of Influential Women of Law. This honor, bestowed by Virginia Lawyers' Weekly, "honors women attorneys and judges for their excellent work on behalf of the justice system and for their clients, their commitment to their communities and their service to the profession." I am so deeply honored to be recognized as part of such an illustrious group of women.

Throughout my legal career, I have often judged myself harshly, often believing that I wasn’t meeting the mark, that I wasn’t doing enough. I have only ever wanted to do good work for my clients and to be valued for my contribution. When I became a mom, these feelings only intensified. It has only been within the last few years of practice that I have claimed my power and recognized that this is not a zero-sum game. Yes, I still have days where the struggle to be present for my family and for my clients feels unachievable. But I am so grateful to be at a place in my life and career where I feel fully present and in control of my life's trajectory both personally and professionally.

So here's to celebrating women doing the damn thing and being recognized for it! 🎉
